2 EXPERIMENT 7 RESONANCE OBJECTIVE This experiment investigates the voltage and current relationships in series and parallel resonant RLC circuits. Of primary importance is the establishment of the resonant frequency and the quality factor, or Q, of the circuit with relation to the values of the R, L, and C components. DISCUSSION Series Resonance A series resonant circuit consists of a resistor, a capacitor, and an inductor in a simple loop as shown below. At the resonant frequency = the capacitive and inductive reactances will be of the same magnitude, and as they are 180 degrees in opposition, they effectively nullify each other. This leaves the circuit purely resistive, the source seeing only the resistive element. Consequently, the current will be at a maximum at the resonant frequency. At any higher or lower frequency, a net reactance (the difference between and ) must be added to the resistor value, producing a higher impedance and thus, a lower current. As this is a simple series loop, the resistor s voltage will be proportional to the current. Consequently, the resistor voltage should be a maximum at the resonant frequency and decrease as the frequency is either increased or decreased (see phasor diagram below). At resonance, the resistor value sets the maximal current and also has a major effect on the tightness of the voltage versus frequency curve: The smaller the resistance, the tighter the curve and the higher the voltage seen across the capacitor and inductor. The quality factor, Q, of the circuit can be defined as the ratio of the resonant reactance to the circuit resistance, = = =, which also corresponds to the ratio of the resonant frequency to the circuit bandwidth, = where the bandwidth is given by =. The bandwidth is the interval between the half-power cut-off frequencies, which are the frequencies at which the current is 1/ 2 of its maximum value. The cut-off frequencies for the series RLC circuit are given by:, = ! = " 2# + " 2# + 1 #$ 6-2

At the resonant frequency = the capacitive and inductive reactances will be of the same magnitude, and as they are 180 degrees in opposition, they effectively nullify each other. This leaves the circuit purely resistive, the source seeing only the resistive element. At any lower or higher frequency the inductive or capacitive reactance will shunt the resistance, producing a lower impedance, and thus a higher current. Consequently, in a parallel RLC circuit, minimum current happens at resonance (see the following phasor diagram). The quality factor, Q, of the circuit is defined as the ratio of the resonant susceptance to the circuit conductance, = = = % "$, which also corresponds to the ratio of the resonant frequency to the circuit bandwidth, = where the bandwidth is given by =. 6-3

4 The bandwidth is again the interval between the half-power cut-off frequencies, which are the frequencies at which the current is 2 of its minimum value. The cut-off frequencies for the parallel RLC circuit are given by:, = ! = 1 2"$ + 1 2"$ + 1 #$ Lissajous curve In addition to the possibility of displaying two signals versus time, the oscilloscope can display two signals versus each other in what is known as the X-Y mode. The resulting figure is called a Lissajous curve, and if the two displayed signals are sinusoidal signals, the Lissajous curve can help us measure the phase shift between the two signals depending on the eccentricity and direction of rotation as summarized in the figure below. 6-4

5 PROCEDURE A SERIES RESONANCE 1. Construct the circuit shown below. Assume that R = 820 Ω, L = 10 mh, C = 10 nf. 2. Set the function generator to produce a sinusoidal waveform (AC) with frequency of 6000 Hz, and peak voltage of & ' = 3 V. CAUTION: Some older function generators have a defect and produce an AC signal with a slight DC shift. Hence, if you do not see a symmetric sinusoidal signal above and below zero volts, adjust the DC offset knob slightly to force a zero DC offset in the function generator output. 3. Use theoretical analysis to determine the voltages ( ), (, ( and current * in the circuit at the different frequencies in Tables 1, 2 and 3. Make sure to evaluate both magnitude and phase for each complex quantity, and record the expected period + of the (, signal in microseconds. Record the answers in the three tables? 4. What is the equation for the resonant frequency of a series RLC circuit? 5. Use that above equation to find the resonant frequency in this experiment. 6. What is the equation for the quality factor, and bandwidth of a series RLC circuit? 7. Use the proper equations to find the frequencies and, at which the current amplitude is approximately times the resonant current (i.e., the half-power points). 8. Use the oscilloscope to measure the peak values of the voltages (, and ( ) and the phase shift of ( ) compared to (,. Remember that you can change the horizontal sweep setting of the oscilloscope to make more accurate measurements of the phase. Record the measurements in Table 1? 6-5

6 CAUTION: Whenever you change the frequency of the function generator, verify the period of the signal from the oscilloscope to get accurate readings. Also re-check the peak-to-peak voltage as the function generator might change the amplitude when you change the frequency. 9. Set the oscilloscope to work in the X-Y mode. At the frequency of 6000 Hz, draw what you see on the oscilloscope screen. 10. Remember that the voltage ( ) across the resistor is directly proportional to (and has the same phase shift as) the current * in the circuit. Adjust the frequency of the function generator in small increments, up and down, and use the oscilloscope in the X-Y mode (i.e., Lissajous curve) to find the frequency at which (, and ( ) (i.e, the current *) have the same phase shift. This is the experimental resonance frequency. Record this frequency value in Table Draw what you see on the oscilloscope screen at the resonant frequency in the X-Y mode. 12. Switch the oscilloscope from the X-Y mode to show the time-domain signals (, and ( ) again. Notice that the voltage ( ) has the maximum possible value at the resonance frequency. Record this peak voltage value in Table Now start changing the frequency of the function generator above and below the resonance frequency until the experimental frequencies and are found. These will occur at a voltage amplitude of approximately times the resonant voltage ( ) (i.e., the half-power points). Record such frequencies and the corresponding voltage values in Table

Which one is higher ( at resonant frequency or ( below resonant frequency? Note: In phase, consider the positive or negative signs. 19. Using the values in Tables 1 and 2, evaluate the current * and total impedance of the series RLC circuit using Ohm s law, and record them in Table 3. Remember that the total impedance is a complex number, so you need to find both its magnitude and phase.

Using the measured values in Table 3, plot (by hand) the following figures using the graph paper attached at the end of the report: (1) versus source frequency; (2) versus source frequency; (3) * versus source frequency. 21. For the above plots, state your conclusions under the plot? Also identify the resonant frequency and bandwidth in each plot. PROCEDURE B PARALLEL RESONANCE 1. Construct the circuit shown below. Assume that R = 820 Ω, L = 10 mh, C = 10 nf, and R = 10 Ω. Make sure you use the correct resistor values. 6-8

9 2. Set the function generator to produce a sinusoidal waveform (AC) with frequency of 6000 Hz, and peak voltage of & ' = 3 V. CAUTION: Some older function generators have a defect and produce an AC signal with a slight DC shift. Hence, if you do not see a symmetric sinusoidal signal above and below zero volts, adjust the DC offset knob slightly to force a zero DC offset in the function generator output. 3. Use theoretical analysis to determine the current * and the voltage ( ) in the circuit at the different frequencies in Tables 4 and 5. Make sure to evaluate both magnitude and phase for each complex quantity, and record the expected period + of the (, signal in microseconds. Record the answers in the two tables. The small resistor R was placed as a convenient way to measure the current * using the oscilloscope. It has a small resistance compared to other resistors in the circuit, which means you can neglect it in theoretical calculations. 4. What is the equation for the resonant frequency of a parallel RLC circuit? 5. Use that above equation to find the resonant frequency in this experiment. 6. What is the equation for the quality factor, and bandwidth of a parallel RLC circuit? 7. Use the proper equations to find the frequencies and, at which the current amplitude is approximately = 1/0.707 times the resonant current (i.e., the bandwidth limits). 8. Use the oscilloscope to measure the peak values of the voltages (, and ( ) 2 and the phase shift of ( ) 2 compared to (,. Remember that you can change the horizontal sweep setting of the oscilloscope to make more accurate measurements of the phase. Record the measurements in Table 4? CAUTION: Whenever you change the frequency of the function generator, verify the period of the signal from the oscilloscope to get accurate readings. Also re-check the peak-to-peak voltage as the function generator might change the amplitude when you change the frequency. 9. Remember that by Ohm s law, the voltage ( ) 2 across the resistor is directly proportional to (and has the same phase shift as) the current * in the circuit. Adjust the frequency of the function generator in small increments, up and down, and use the oscilloscope in the X-Y mode (i.e., Lissajous curve) to find the frequency at which (, and ( ) 2 (i.e, the current *) have the same phase shift. This is the experimental resonance frequency. Record this frequency value in Table

10 10. Switch the oscilloscope from the X-Y mode to show the time-domain signals (, and ( ) 2 again. Notice that the voltage ( ) 2 has the minimum possible value at the resonance frequency. Record this peak voltage value in Table Now start changing the frequency of the function generator above and below the resonance frequency until the experimental frequencies and are found. These will occur at a voltage amplitude of approximately times the resonant voltage ( ) 2. Record such frequencies and the corresponding voltage values in Table 4.

Using the values in Table 4, evaluate the current * and total admittance 3 of the parallel RLC circuit using Ohm s law, and record them in Table 5.
